Undergraduate Admissions
Admitted Student Checklist
Fall 2024
You're In. So, what's next?
Reply to your Officer of Admission and Pay the Enrollment Fee ✓
Your place at UConn is secured by completing your Reply Form found in your applicant portal and submitting the $400 non-refundable enrollment fee by May 1.
If you are admitted after May 1, your enrollment fee is due within two weeks of the date marked on your acceptance letter. Your enrollment fee confirms your commitment to attend the University of Connecticut and is applied toward your orientation program. Your enrollment fee is not applied directly to your tuition.
Complete the Financial Aid Process ✓
Review and Accept Your Financial Aid Offer
Due to the significant changes to the federal student aid process by the U.S. Department of Education, the University of Connecticut anticipates financial aid offers to be available in early April for applicants who have completed the FAFSA.
You will be notified via email once offers of financial aid are released. If you were offered financial aid, visit your applicant portal to view and accept, reduce or decline your offer.
UConn has extended its on-time FAFSA completion deadline from February 15 to March 15 to allow additional time for students to apply for federal financial aid. Students who have not completed their FAFSA are still encouraged to do so.
Complete Your Onboarding and Orientation ✓
Once your enrollment fee is received, you’ll be invited to UConn’s onboarding portal where you will complete
a series of tasks including registering for an orientation session. All new students are required to attend an orientation session where you’ll learn more about our academic programs, student community, and on-campus services; meet with an academic advisor; and select fall semester classes. Details will be sent to your personal email account.
Submit Your Official Transcript ✓
First-year students are required to submit their official final high school/secondary school transcript, including graduation date to enroll at UConn in the fall. Transfer students must submit their official final transcript from the institution most recently attended. Transcripts must be submitted to UConn directly from the institution either electronically through an authorized provider such as Parchment, eSCRIP or National Clearinghouse, or by postal mail in a sealed envelope.
Final transcripts must be received by July 1.
Students who attended an institution outside of the United States where the transcript is in a language other than English must submit both an official transcript in the native language as well as a certified translation.
Review Your Transfer Credit Report ✓
If you are a first-year student and have participated in a concurrent partnership program while in high school, official transcripts should be sent to the University of Connecticut directly by the participating college or university. Credit is considered for transfer, but some restrictions can apply. Mathematics courses can be transferable at any level, however credit is awarded at the discretion of the University of Connecticut's Mathematics Department. UConn considers all courses completed in partnership programs for transfer credit in keeping with NACEP standards.
Transfer Credit Reports are made available to incoming first-year students when credits are posted early in the first semester.
If you took Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses in high school, view the equivalencies. Official AP scores must be sent directly from the College Board to be considered for AP credit. To be considered for IB credit, the official IB transcript must be sent directly from the IB Office to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and students must have earned the IB Diploma.
If you are a transfer student, your transfer credit summary is available to you at the time of admission and can be found in your applicant portal. Your academic advisor will discuss the report with you in detail when you register for courses during Orientation.
Access Your UConn Email ✓
The University has partnered with Microsoft 365 for its email system. Beginning mid-May, all official correspondence from the University will be sent to your UConn email address.
Complete the Housing Application ✓
Storrs Main Campus
First-year students are required to submit the housing application by May 24.
UConn's Learning Communities are popular options for new Huskies. Students interested in participating in a Learning Community are encouraged to apply through the housing application by May 1 for priority consideration.
Details regarding the housing selection process will be sent to your UConn student email account in early June.
REGISTER FOR STORRS MAIN CAMPUS HOUSING
UConn Stamford
Submit the online housing application to request university housing at UConn Stamford by May 24. Early completion is recommended as space is limited. Housing notifications will be sent to your UConn student email account.
Submit Your Health History Report ✓
Submit your Health History Form, including proof of all required immunizations, by July 1. Students who are not compliant with all of the required immunizations by the tenth day of classes will have a hold placed on their student record and will be unable to participate in add/drop registration processes.
Health History Forms received after the deadline may result in a cancellation of admission.
International Applicants: Form I-20 and the ISSS Portal ✓
The Form I-20 will enable you to apply for the F-1 visa necessary to study in the United States. The F-1 application should be completed immediately as it is difficult to determine the length of time for processing. Your Form I-20 will be available electronically in the ISSS Portal after your supporting documents and enrollment fee are received. In order to provide the most accurate information, please allow 24 hours from submitting your enrollment fee to access the ISSS Portal.
GAP YEAR AND DEFERMENT REQUESTS
We understand that admission is not a one-size-fits-all process and that there are reasons first-year students may need to delay the start of their UConn education to up to a year from the admission term. Whether it be to pursue a unique travel opportunity, to serve in the military or public service, or due to chronic illness, simply submit the Gap Year/Deferment Request Form found in your applicant portal and share your plan with us. Your non-refundable enrollment fee is still required by May 1 to secure your seat. Students may not enroll at another institution, professional certification program, or participate in a post-graduate year at a secondary school during the gap year/deferment period.
